UG BULK EMULSION 100

UG BULK EMULSION 100 is a booster sensitive emulsion explosive. This product combines both high detonation velocity and high energy during its explosion, thus covering every need during blasting processes.

UG BULK EMULSION 100 is produced on site by the modern technology of ELTEK’s mixing-charging systems. This innovative system ensures maximum risk reduction through the delayed activation of the emulsion explosive after usually 30 minutes.

Benefits when used in underground mining include: drill hole savings, good water insensitivity, and customizable explosive properties. Moreover, by using UG BULK EMULSION 100, maximum borehole charging is obtained.

Features

Usage

Suitable for blasting in road tunnels and underground mining operations.

The bulk charging systems fit into every tunnel profile and is available in different sizes and on different carrier vehicles. As an independent unit, it can be used with great flexibility.

Advantages

  • UG BULK EMULSION 100 can be pumped with a pump capacity of 30 to 50 kg/min. The loading time of a working face is 40% reduced compared to conventional loading work with cartridged explosives.
  • Extremely resistant to water
  • Very low amount of toxic fumes
  • Develops high gas volume
  • Excellent safety against mechanical impact and friction
  • The three components Matrix, R1 and R2, which are used to produce UG BULK EMULSION 100, are not explosives. This facilitates the safety of transportation and storage on the construction site. Deliveries to the construction site are made by truck in certified tanks of maximum weight of 1400 kg each.

Shelf Life

6 months from the date of manufacture, if stored under the designated conditions.

Storage - Handling

Storage can take place on the construction site in a warehouse or underground at a temperature of at least 15 °C. The three components Matrix, R1 and R2, which are used to produce UG BULK EMULSION 100, are not explosives. This facilitates the safety of transportation and storage on the construction site. It should be handled and transported according to its Safety Data Sheet (MSDS).
